MACHINE FOR CUTTING STONE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,410, dated February 5, 1889.

Application filed July 5, 1888. Serial No. 279,030. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGH YOUNG, of the city and county oit New York, in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Cutting Stone and other Substances, of which the following is a specification.

The object of myinvention is to provide in one machine for the cutting of stone or other substances into different forms having Hat, polygonal, or curved surfaces and a machine embodying my invention is composed of certain distinct and specific parts movable in certain distinct and speciiic lines by mechanism adapted to the production of said movements of saidv parts, each of said distinct and specific parts and the mechanism tor producing its distinct and specific movements constituting a distinct member ot said machine,

all of said dist-inet members and the movements thereof being so arranged in relation to each other that any one of said members may, according to its fitness for the work required, be used as the primary or operative member Ot' the machine for the time heilig, during which primacy of said member all the other members of the machine, whether stationary or in continuous or 'intermittent motion, become auxiliary for support, adjustment, or i'ecd, the aim ot' this interchangeability ot relation between the severall members and movements thereof being to obtain a maximum 0il geometric range and combinations from a minimum of." parts and movements.

I will proceed to describe a machine embodying my invention, and will afterward point out by claims the novelty of the invention.

In the machine selected to illustrate my ini No. 3 has for its distinctive part a cutter-bar,

Memberlfo. .l has for its distinctive and includes the mechanism tor imparting to it movement in the line of its own length. Member No. -l has for its distinctive part vertical t'rames or gates, and includes the mechanism Jfor imparting to them vertical motion. Member No. 5 has for its distinctive part a rotary cutter-bar carrier mounted and rotating' on the vertically-moving gates, and includes the mechanism for imparting a rotary movement to said cutter-bar carrier; and member No. 6 has tor its distinctive part boxes radially mounted on the cutter-bar carrier, in which the cutter-bar slides in the line of its own length and includes the mechanism for vimparting a radial mm'ement to said boxes in their relation io the axis ol the cutter-bar carrier.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lV A B C designate the stationary framing oi.' the machine, represented as consisting of up-V right posts A, an entablature, B, mounted thereon, and horizontal ways C (l.

I) designates a horizontal bed iitted to slide on the ways C, and having fitted to a circular recess, c, and pivot c a circular rotary table, E.

Between the posts A, on opposite sides of the ways C and bed D, are two upright slid-` ing frames or gates, G, the faces ot' which are parallel with the ways C C, the said gates,

bei ng fitted to the posts with gibs g. Within .each of these upright sliding gates Gis one of two rotary disks, II, which combine to form what I will hereinafter term the cutter-bar carrier. Said cutter-bar carrier carries the cutterbar I by means of two slidingboxes, J, which are litted to slide radially in the disks l-I in parallel-sided openings j, provided in the said disks, the said boxes being movable toward and from the center of the disks,

IOO

the reciprocating bed D, working in bearings l at (l, and furnished with a toothed pinion, d',

1o gearing with a straight rack, d2, on the bottom of the bed D. 'lhe said shaft D is represented as furnished with tight and loose pulleys d d" di for open and crossed belts to provide :for turning the shaft in both direc- I tions and producing the horizontal movement of the bed D on the slides C in either direction. The said shaft D also represented as furnished with a ratchet-wheel, d, through which motion may be connuunicated to it by 2o a pawl derivii'lg motion in any suitable. manner.

E designates the driving-shaft for producing the rotary motion of the table E within the bed D, the said shaft working in a fixed 2 5 bearing, e, as shown in Fig. 2, and being provided with a bevel-gear, e, gearing with a bevel-gear, e', which turns loosely on a fixed stud secured, as shown at e2 in 'Fig'. l, in the sliding bed D. The said bevel-gear e has secured to it another bevel-gear, c3, which gears with a bevel-gear, c4, which is secured to or integral with the bottom of the table E. The bevel-gear c, being required to move with the table E in the movement of the latter with 3 5 the bed,is arranged to slide upon` the shaft E, but compelled to rotate with it by being 'fitted to said shaft with a square or spline, and it has a bearing, e, of its own, in which it rotates, provided for it on the frame D. Said 4o shaft E is represented as also furnished with tight and loose pulleys e7, eS, and e." for open and crossed belts for driving it in either direction, and also represented as furnished with a ratchet-wheel, el, through wh ich it may be turned by apawl actuated in any suitable manner.

G designates the driving-shaft by which the upward-an(3l-downward vertical movement of the upright sliding gates G is produced,

5o working in bearings g* on the entablatur'e B of the framing. This shaft is furnished with three bevel-@ears f and (2 formino' mrt C? J 7 l 3 .j 7 D of a train of bevel-gearing for turning the u pright screws G2, by which the up\var .l-and downward movement of the gates G is produced. These screws-two for each gate G- are free to turn but confined longitudinally in bearings in the entablatu re l and screw into nuts G", tixedly secured upon the said 6o gates G. Each of the said screwsis furnished with a bevel-gear, g, these being all of equal size, the gears g and gf, which are of equal size, gearing directly with. those g on two of the screws (lf2-namely, one screw of each gate. The Vgears'gs of the two screws of each gate are geared together by bevel-gears g", of equal size, on shafts g5-one for each gate-arranged at right angles to the shaft G in bearings y on the entablature B.

ly the system of gearing above described 7o the rotary motion of the shaft G produces precisely corresponding movements of the gates G, whose positions therefore always correspond. The shaft G is represented as furnished with tight and loose pulleys gf, gs, and 7 5 g to receive open and crossed belts 'for driving it in different directions. The said shaft is also represented as furnished with a ratchetwheel, gw, through whichit may be turned by a suitably-actuated pawl. 8O

H designates the driving-shaft for producing the rotarymovement of the cutter-bar carrier Il Il within the gates G. This shaft is furnished at its ends with two bevel-gears, 71 of equal size, gearing with two bevel-gears, 71.', 8 5 the hubs of which are journaled into bearings h2. These bevel-gears h have titted to them with squares or splines upright shafts h3, which are journaled into bearings at h4 on the upper parts of the sliding gates G, and 9o they are furnished at their lower ends with bevel-gears Il, of equal size, gearing with large bevel-gears 71,, which are bolted to the outer 'faces of the cutter-bar carrier disks H11. The shafts h, receiving rotary motion through the 9 5 bevel-gears h L, are free to slide lengthwise through the gears 7L', while they move up and down with the gates and the contained cutter-bar-earrier disks, so that no matter what the position of the gates may be the rotary cutter-bar carrier is always in gear with it-s driving-shaft.

rlhe shaft Il is represented as furnished with tight and loose pulleys 71T', 718, and r" for the reception of open and crossed belts for driving the shaft in either direction. It is also represented as Yfurnished with a ratchetwheel, 7U, through which it may receive motion from a suitably-actuated pawl.

In order to provide for locking the cutterbar carrier H II in any position to which it may be turned, and so enable it to resist the pressure which in some sorts of work may be brought on the cutter-bar in a direction circumferential with or tangential to the said carrier, I have provided on the shaft II a locking-wheel, WU, to be engaged by a hooked dog, 71.21 hung on the entablature l-l, as shown in Figs. ll and 2l.

I is the horizontal driving-shaft for producing the longitudinal reciprocating movenient of the cutter-bar I within and through the boxes .I J', hereinafter described. lhis shaft is iitt ed to bearings in a vta-tically-sliding cross-heard, l?, which is fitted with gibs 12 5 to two of the upright posts A of the main .fram ing of the machine. lVithin this crosshead, near the ends thereof, are provided nuts or female sci ew-threads, through which screw two upright screws, F2, the threads of which correspond,with the threads of the screws G3, hereinabove described, for the purpose ot' producing the upward-and-downward move-Y ment of the sliding gates G. These screws IOC IOS

F2 are supported in bearings in the entablature B in such manner as to allow them to turn freely but confine them lengthwise, and they are provided at their upper ends with bevel-gearsfii, which are of the same size as the bevel-gears y on t-he screws G2. The bevelgear fi; on one of these screws gears, as shown in Fi i, with the bevel-gear g2 on the righthand end of the shaft G', before described, and the two bevel-gears f3 on the two screws are geared together by two bevel-gears,j, on a horizontal shaft, f2, working in. bearings f4 on the entablature The bevel-gearS y', if, and g' being all of the same size, and the bevelgears g and j" being of the same size, and the bevel-gears rf3 and f3 beingI of the same size, the screws F2 have always precisely the same movements as the screws G2, so that the movement of the cross-head F always corresponds exactly with that of the two sliding gates G, and, in fact, the two sliding gates G and the cross-head F may be considered as practically parts of one vertically-sliding reciprocating carriage, within which the cutter-bar carrier rotates in planes parallel with the reciprocating movements of the said earriage,the said reciprocating and rotatin movements being in planes perpendicular to the planes of the movements of the bed D and table E. One of the disks ll of the rotary cutter-bar carrier-namely, the one shown at the right of Figs. l and2 has connected with it by diagonal braces 20 a hollow journal, 2l, which is concentric with the said disk, and which turns in a bearing at 22 in the crosshead F. nal assist in establishing a firmer base to that one of the disks H of the cutter-bar carrier to which is attached the mechanism for producing' the motion of the cutter-bar in the line of its own length.

The driving-shaft l, for producing the re- A ciprocating longitudinal movement of the cu tter-bar, is fitted to bearings in the cross-head F, and is furnished with a small spur-gear, z', which gears with a larger spur-gear, rz, on a horizontal shaft, 2, which works in a bearing within the center of the hollow journal 2l, as shown in Fig. l, and in a journal-box, ii", provided on the adjacent disk ll of the rotary cutter-bar carrier. 0n this shaft 2 is provided an endless screw, fr, which gears with two worm-gears, 1"", upon two parallel shafts, i, which are journaltd in bearings il, lirinly secured to the adjacent disk Il. 0n these shafts 1'. are provided sleeve spnr-pinions fi, journaled upon the sliding bar J, and which ment of the cutter-bar maybe produced at whatever distance the said bar may be from 3 These diagonal braces and this jourln order that this movel j in the cross-head F.

i to said shaft. gear with toothed racks Il", recessed in oppothe center of its rotary carrier, the pinions '11 are so fitted wit-hin the boxes J that they will move toward and from the center with the said boxes, and they are fitted to their shafts i with. splines or squares, so that they may slide longitudinally on the said shafts, while compelled to turn therewith.

The shaft I is furnished with fast and loose pulleys il?, 13, and L'lAl for the reception of open and crossed belts :for driving it in either direction. The said shaft is also represented as furnished with a ratchet-wheel, 15, through which it may-receive mot-ion from la suitably-actuated pawl.

J is a horizontal driving-shaft for producingl the movement of the boxes J and the cutter-bar l, fitted thereinto, toward and from the center of the cutter-bar carrier. The said shaft J works, as shown in Fig. l, in stationary bearingsg/i, and is furnished at its ends with two bevel-gears, j?, which gear with bevel-gears'y' on the lower ends of two upright shaftsLjtj'li, on the upper ends of which are bevel-gears j, which gear with bevelgears j on two horizontal shafts, vjij/"lf, on

Awhich are endless screws jg, which gear with worm-wheels Yj, provided on the screws j", hereinbefore described, which work in nuts in the boxes J. The upright shaftjt at the right-haml end of the machine (see Fig. l) has its lower journal fitted to a fixed bearing, jm, and its upper journal. litted to a bearing at The corresponding shafhj, at the right-hand end of the machine (see Fig. l) passes through the shaftfi?, which is bored to receive it.. The said shaft jl is journaled near its outer end in a bearing in the cross-head F, and is jourualed at its inner end in a bearing, jm, secured concentrically to the adjacent rotary disk llV of the eutter-bar carrier. 'lhe uprigl'lt shaft j' and the horizontal shaft at the left-lun l end of the machine (see Fig. l) are journaled in bearings in a bracket, J 2, which is secured to the adjacent sliding gate G, and thehorizontal shaft/'7* is jmu'naled in a bearingby', secured concelitrically to the adjacent rotary disk H `of the cutter-bar carrier.

By the system of gearing1 hereinabove described between the shaft J and the endless screws js the rotary motion of the saidshaft is caused to produce the rotary motion of the said screws, and thereby to move the boxes J and the cutter-bar l toward or from thc een-` ter of the cutter-barcarrier ll ll, according to the direction in which rotary mot-ion is given ln order that this rotary motion may be produced without regard to the height of the vertically-sliding carriage G H F, the sha fts, [1 j'liiare made telescopic, so that they may be elongated and shortened as the said sliding carriage ascends and descends, the upper and lower telescopic members being fitted together with splines or squares. The shaft J is represented as fiufnished with pulleys jf", j, and Pjll to receive open and crossed belts for driving the said shaft in IOO IIO

either direction. The said shaft is also represented as furnished with a ratchet-wheel, jl, to be operated by a suitably-actuated pawl.

It will be observed that each of the driving-shafts D, E', G', II', I', and J for producing the movements of the different meinbers of the machine is furnished with pulleys for the reception of open and crossed belts for the purpose of producing the rotation of the said shafts in one direction or the other, and so producing the movement of the members of the machine, which they actuate, in one direction or the other. lIt will be also observed that each of the said shafts is furnished with a ratchet-wheel, the latter wheel being for the purpose of providing for giving to the said shaft a slow rotary motion. Each of the movements produced by the several shafts D E G H I J is capable of producing either the operative movement of the work or of the cutter necessary for cutting, or the movement thereof necessary for feeding and adjusting the work` to the cutter or the cutter to the work. The cutt er-bar I, which is not in itself a tool, is furnished with cutters K, which may be of any suitable kind, the said cutters being held in adjustable stocks K, of any suitable construction. The said stocks should be so applied to the cutter-bar I that they may be adjustable lengthwise thereof, and that the points or cuttingedges of the cutters may be presented upward, downward, laterally, or transversely in any -direction suitable to the work relatively to the said bar. The section of said bar and the interior of the stock are represented as of rectangular section, but may be round or of any other section or shape desired. It may be here mentioned that the cutter-bar does not itself rotate, but revolves laterally around the axis of the rotary carrier in which it is mounted.

Having described the construction of the machine in detail, I will describe a :few of its operations in diifereut kinds of work performed by it. The stone to be operated upon is always supported by the bed D, either directly or through the intervention of the rotary table E, suitable blocks, L, of wood or other material bein placed between the stone and the table or bed, if necessary, as shown in Figs. 5 to l5 of the drawings.

In all the examples of the operation of the machine shown in Figs. 5 to lO, inclusive, the cutter-bar is operativel)Y movable in the direction of its own length, and the work is done bythe movement of the said bar and its cutter or cutters in that direction.

are station ary, and the feeding is performed by the movement of the cutter-bar and cutter inA a radial direction within the cutter-bar carrier, as indicated by an arrow in the figure,

Vthe relative position of the tool to the work -having been previously established by the horizontal motion of the bed, the vertical motion of the gates, and the rotary motion of the cutter-bar carrier.

In t-he example illustrated in Fig. 6, which represents the cutting of a partly-circular column by the longitudinal movement of the cutter-bar and cutter, t-he bed D and the work M thereon are stationary, and the cutter, which is set on the inner side of the cutter-bar I, is fed to its work by the lateral revolving movement of the said cutter-bar and cutter, pro-V duced by the rotating movement of the cutter-bar carrier H H on its axis, the proper radial position of the cutter-barhaving been first established and the stone M having been also arranged concentric to the axis of the cutterbar carrier by the horiZontallymoving table and vertically-moving frame.

In the example represented in Fig. 7, which represents the cutting of the inner arc of a voussoir, the cutter is set on the outer side of the cutter-bar, the bed D and the stone M are stationary, and the cutter-bar,besides having a longitudinal operative movement by which the cutting' is produced7 has a lateral revolving feeding movement given to it by the circular motion of the cutter-bar carrier H H, the relative position of the tool to the work having been previously established by the radial movement of the bar, the vertical movement of the gates, and the horizontal movement of the table.

In the example illustrated in Fig. 8, which represents a simple horizontal planing operation by the lengthwise operative movement of the bar, the cutter is set on the inner side of the bar and the block of stone, M, is fed to the cutter by the movement of the bed D on the ways C, the cutter-bar carrier H being stationary, the relative position of the tool to the work having been previously established by the vertical movement of the gates, the rotary movement of the cutter-bar carrier, and the radial mcvement of the bar.

In the example shown in Fig. 9, which illustrates the planing of 'a vertical flat surface, the planing is also done by the longitudinal operative movement of the cutter-bar. The bed D and the steile M are stationary, and so is the cutter-bar carrier H, and the feeding is produced by the downward vertically-radial movement of the cutter-bar in the carrier H,

the relative position of the tool to the work having been previously established by the horizontal movement of the table, the vertical movement of the gates, and the rotary movement of the cutter-bar carrier.

In the example shown in Fig. l0, which also illustrates the planing of a vertical flat surface by the same operative movement of the cutter-bar and cutter, the bed D and the stone M are stationary, the cutter is set on the inner side of the cutter-bar I, the cutter-bar carrier H is stationary within the upright sliding gates G, and the feeding of the cutter to the IOO IIO

IIS

work is produced by the movement of the gates G, the relative position of the tool to the Work having been previously established by the horizontal movement of the table, the rotary motion of the cutter-bar carrier, and the radial motion ol the bar.

In the examples shown in Figs. ll, l2, 13,14, and l5 the longitudinal movement ot' the cutter-bar is not the operative or primary movement by which the cutting is effected, but becomes subordinate for the purposes of adjustment or feed. In Fig. l l, which illustrates the transverse cutting oi one ot the sides ot an irregular prism, the bed D and the stone M are stationary, the cutter `is set on one side of the bar, the operative movement for eutting :is the upward radial movement of the cutter-bar I, and the feeding' ot the cutter to the Work is produced by the longitudinal movement of the cutter-bar, While the carrier H is stationary, the relative position of the tool to the Work having been previously established by the horizontal movement ot the bar,tl1e vertical movement of the gates, and the rotary movement ol? the cutter-bar carrier.

In the example shown in Fig. l2, which illustrates the transverse cutting ot' a partlycircular body, the cutter is set on the inner side of the cutter-bar, the operative movement -for cutting is the laterally-revolving movement of the cutter-bar produced by the rotary movement of the cutter-bar carrier H, and the feeding ot the cutter to the work is produced by the longitudinal movement of the cutter-bar, the bed I) and the stone M beto the Work having been. previously established by the horizontal movement of the table, the vertical movement ot' the gate, and the radial movement ot the cutter-bar.

In the example shown in Fig. l-l, which illustrates the cutting of the inner arc of a molded voussoir, theV cutter is set on the outer side l of the bar, the operative movement tor cutthe cutter-bar produced by the rotary movement ol' the carrier H, and the feeding ot the cutter to the stone is produced by the longitudinal movement of the bar, the bed I) and the stone M being in this case stationary, the relative position of the tool. to the Work having been previ n1sl \,v established by the saine means as in llo. l2.

In the example shown in Fig. let, which represents the cutting ot' the plinth ot a circular column, the operative movement for cutting is the rotary movement ot the table E, and the cutter, which is set laterally to the bar, is t'ed to the stone by the radial movement of the bar Within the carrier H, the bed and the carrier being stationary, the relative position of the tool to the Work having been previously established by the lengthwise movement ot the bar, the horizontal movement ot the table, the rotating movement oi the cutter-bar carrier, and the vertical movement of the gates.

In the example shown in Fig. l5, which illustrates the horizontal planing of the upper side of a slab, the operative movement for cutting is the horizontal movement ot the bed D on the Ways C, and the feeding of the cutter to the Work is produced by the longitudinal movement of the cutter-bar, While the carrier 1I is stationary, and in this case the cutter is set on the outer side ot the bar, the relative position of the tool to the work having been previously established by the vertical movements oli' the gates, the rotary movement ot the cutter-bar carrier, and the radial movement of the cutter-bar. The adjustment of the depth of out may be produced by moving the stone toward the cutter or the cutter t0- ward the stone, the movement being effected by slowly turning such one of the several driving-shafts as will produce the movement desired.
